Still snowing, going on almost 2 hours now. Its laying and looking very pretty. Lets hope it stays.

I love it - no warnings, no mention on the BBC - and what happens! 2cms of lying snow on the western outskirts of Edinburgh and traffic chaos! Even in the city centre/Leith patchy snow is left 3 hours since the last heavy shower...

[Mondy]

Sleet here.

Black ice all over this morning too.

Just home from work, came back through the city-centre. Surprisng how much slush there is on the pavements, busy night in A&E tonight if that freezes over. Doesn't feel marginal at all now and another couple of beefy showers would stick for sure and give the miidle of town a Xmasy castor-sugar look. In the balance I feel though ... from the radar and from looking out of the window, theres more stuff to come in but not especially heavy. And probably the window of easterly opportunity will close here in 6-12 hours. No reason though why areas N , S and E - and a little bit west - of here shouldn't have a visible covering by morning ... a few mm's .. or a centimetre or two at best.

You got that one wrong Heather !

There is an alert out on NW, alas it doesn't cover us even though it's clearly adverse conditions up here already. You outta try walking/driving in shiny black ice roads/pavements - need bloody danger money in my line of work, LOL

Edit: sleet gradually becoming snow :-)

Well I never! she did didn't she. I forgive her though!

Cowdenbeath, it was meant to be sunny lol

[JRMcLeod]

I dont understand, the BBC local weather video for Scotland shows a massive amount of snow for East/Central Scotland on Sat then for the West on Sunday...why is there no warnings for it? This is pretty much a dead cert isnt it? I dont understand it at all. There is so much hype about SE England yet looking on the Sat images, it looks like the big showers are going to miss it completely and flow right down the channel!!

Can anyone shed any light on this snow event on Sat and Sun?

[Sunny Leith]

Mate I just saw 2 of them gritting George Street. 12 hours too late as usual !
